I have a little SB male and he's getting old enough to spawn. Lately I've grown a little tired of fishkeeping and need to dabble in the black arts a little. What kind of aberration, atrocity and unnatural freak can I create with this mutant fish? Not looking at parrots, looking into something blue or sparkly. Can convict cross with texas?
 
almost every sa ciclid, ive heard of all kinds

vieja
jd
fire mouth
texas
RD/midas


just i know that GTs and severums are definately not hybridisable.
 
Definitely would cross with texas and JD, and both fit the bill of "blue and sparkly". Green Texas (aka H. carpintis) would be another good one.
 
Yes, Convicts will hybridize with most CA species. If you're looking for something with color, I agree that H. carpintis would be a fine choice.

Might want to post this over in the Hybrids section. Many of the members in this forum aren't into the whole hybrid scene.
 
Heh. Thanks. Shows how much my interest has waned of late.
